  What’s the premise of this lemmy community??? Where am I?????????????

  It reminds me of the old "how is babby formed" and similar memes from yahoo answers
  
  it's a convention I adored from the r/DoesAnyoneElse and I wanted to import it
I'm busier screeching at the fake etymological ⟨s⟩ in ⟨island⟩. Or the cosmetic ⟨o⟩ in ⟨people⟩.
